Hello.. new User Here..... Im on a number of other firearm related forums and decided to go ahead and sit in on these conversations here at Calguns.net as well.. Alot of my searches seem to frequently lead to this forum, so Like I said, here I am. Glad to be here and will chime in on topics from time to time. See you in the Mix!!

I got refered here by a friend and thought I'd write a quite introduction.

I've grew up around fire arms so they've always been something I was aware of and trained properly how to operate. Back in the 70's & 80's my family owned a gunshop in San Diego; this was before I was born I'm a youngin'. For one reason or another they closed up and my father sold most of his collection. I've since started building my collection now I have some extra income. I've recently inherited my grandfather's Springfield 1911 service pistol which is my first handgun of the collection. 5 years ago I got started with an $80 Mosin which has mostly sat in my closet until recently. There were no indoor ranges I could use it at close by.

Yesterday I took the plunge on buying a 7.62 Saiga after seeing the short special Turner's was running on calguns. Too cheap to pass up and I don't have to deal with those silly bullet buttons. My enthusiam has re-inspired my father to get back into it and he was looking at a M&P15 sport or an entry level AR.

Whats up everybody came upon this sight while looking for information on guns a lot of great info here. Im new to this site and new to guns. Recently purchased a HK USP 9mm and a Colt Le 6920 ar-15. They are jailed at the moment but will get them soon enough.

Just recently joined the forums after my cousin introduced me into the world of guns and collecting after shooting his AR-15 at the range a few weeks ago. I just turned 26 last month, born and raised in South Sacramento. Currently in the middle of piecing my own AR-15 together so the forums have been a great help.

I am Masteryor and have been since the first days of HALO...raised around guns and hunting on the Texas coast....now a disabled semi retired minister, computer consultant and gun restorer to name a few. I hope to start up an online store where guns, computers and God are well mixed.

A FAIR WARNING... I am a die hard lover of the .22 mag (WMR, OR WHATEVER) and actually working on a few projects with gun manufacturers and ammo companies to show how effective and useful the new .22 magnum truly is...

My CHL is clear that self defense means center fire ... Yet I and several others contend that may be a bit archaic...(pocket 5 shot .22 mag revolver).

I am a newbie who is planning to make my first handgun purchase. I decided to take a NRA basic Pistol class and i am very glad i did as it built confidence in handling and shooting a handgun properly. Enjoy reading the forum daily as i learn more each day!!!

Hi everybody. I just joined calguns.net today. I have known how to shoot since I was 10, and I've gone shooting from time to time throughout my life, mostly with my shotgun. I live in Sacramento county, where the sheriff started issuing concealed carry permits in 2010. I figured I'd better get one while he's still doing it. Today, I friend of mine took me to the range to try out a few of his pistols, since he already has a CCW permit and carries frequently. I learned that I shoot a Glock 9mm Model 19 Gen 2 the best of all of his guns, so I'll probably want to get a used one of those. I also liked his S&W Airweight .38 spec. So, my next trick is to find a Glock 19 on calguns.net. Cheers, everyone!

Figured I'd say hi from socal. Been trapped in the area for five years now and figured I'd join Calguns to shoot the bull with other like minded individuals from the area and also keep up with any current events. I'll see y'all at the range.

Freshest meat on the block taking a moment to say thank you all for your incredible depth of knowledge and willingness to share. I have already spent countless hours on this forum and figured I should officially "join up". Looking forward to learning more.

Took the Appleseed rifle course this weekend and met a lot a nice people and learned a "heck" of a lot.. I thought I knew how to shoot a rifle and I was confident that the Rifleman badge was within reach... Not! Next time..
Thanks to all the volunteers for their service and for making the weekend great and rewarding.. Tonycab

Forgot to Thank one of my fellow students from the Appleseed weekend.. TIM.. Thanks for the info on how to get rid of the bolt lock on my Ruger 10/22.. Took me ten minutes in my garage to transfer my Ruger bolt into an auto release bolt... Thanks again.. Tonycab

Joined the forum a few months ago and want to get started in some conversations.
First off thank you all for supporting this Hobby, and sport.
Being on........ a way... on the other side of young this a perfect way to be out of the house and city for fresh air and the smell and sounds of igniting gun powder.
I do want to pose a question, but not sure what category and how to start a new thread.
See you at the range.

My name is Mark. I go up to the high desert and shoot guns. Rifles, shotguns, and handguns. I go up there as an annual trip for guys including my dad's co-workers, my brothers, dad, friends, and nephews. We blow up tannerite and shoot targets. Great time.

Hello folks my name is Greg, I am from California, born and raised however I moved/transfered to Arkansas (thanks IBM) back in 2006, then transfered to Louisiana in 2009 (again thanks IBM) Upon settling in from my move to Arkansas and the culture shock... I recieved junk mail flyers from sporting goods stores and about had a heart attack, I was looking at fishing tackle and came across the gun page and that was all she wrote. Before I knew it I purchased a dozen weapons/guns and started going to gun shows (better then porn!) I am getting old and have always wanted a M1A/M14, AR15/M16, etc. Honestly I haven't even fired most of my weapons. Now I have a opportunity to relocate back to California and after some research most of my weapons are not legal. This is why I have joined your forum. I have many questions. I don't want to spend my retirement at club fed.

Hi all this is my first time here and I am seeing a lot of great deals and info great site. I was hoping to get help on (how to post an add with a pic). tried finding the link myself but not much luck. I have a nice selection of firearms and hope to buy more from people on the site. Hope someone can help me with this minor issue thanks and keep buying them guns.

Just wanted to introduce myself. I was born and raised in CA, moved out to AZ and MO for a few years and now I'm back in CA. I've got a wife and 3 young boys that are all in love with shooting and the outdoors. Hope to meet some great people on here. Thank you all in advance
